The first logo of Indian
Railway Board formed
in the year 1905.

Sir Thomas Robertson who was appointed by His Majesty as Special Commissioner to report on future management of railways submitted his report in 1903. As a result of his efforts the Railway Board assumed office in 1905.

This is a homepage of Eastern Railway (India), made by a rail enthusiast, operating in eastern part of India. In these pages efforts have been made to present the history of railways in INDIA and eastern part of India, and the contribution made by    East Indian Railway Company in initiating the RAILROAD MOVEMENT in India. The materials used in the pages hereafter have been collected by me from various sources, archives, libraries, newspapers and of course from Eastern Railway head quarters, divisions and workshops.

 I had great encouragement from the members of Indian Railway Fan Club Association (IRFCA), an e-mail group having a large number of experienced, learned and dedicated lovers of Indian Railways, consisting of members from all over India and quite a few other countries, exchanging valuable opinions/experiences regarding IR, its present, past and future amongst themselves. It is a free non-profit organisation and any one who is an ardent fan of Indian Railways should subscribe to free membership. Also visit IRFCA's own website with loads of resources at http://www.irfca.org/ 

Apart from the index on the right you will find a large number of pictures, old and new, throughout these pages. You will find rare pictures of Howrah and Sealdah stations, Liluah shops and a few other interesting pictures.
